Mytho can count the number of feelings he recognizes on his fingers.

Sometimes he tries.

He wants to know what the missing emotions are like, and he wants to know what Tutu feels about him; the world has changed since he started getting his heart back, so he wants to see what it will be like once it's complete. These feelings he has are new and don't fit him well, and sometimes they bump up against each other and they cause him pain, but he would like the rest of them back anyway.

(Why, why? he asks himself.

I don't know.)


"Okay," he tells Fakir.
